Close

forge close

Purpose

Transition an issue to closed once its acceptance criteria are met. Closing removes the issue from the ready/in-progress sets and recomputes the dependency graph so downstream work becomes available.

When to Use

• After verifying an issue's acceptance criteria (tests green, change shipped).
• When wrapping up several finished issues at once.

Command

forge close <id>                # close a single issue
forge close <id> <id> <id>      # close several issues at once
forge issue close <id>          # equivalent issue-scoped form

Instructions

1. Confirm the work is genuinely complete — run the relevant tests first.
2. Leave a final note with comment if context is useful.
3. Run forge close <id> (or pass multiple ids) to close the issue(s).
4. Run ready again to see what the closure unblocked.

Example

$ forge close forge-142
Closed forge-142. Unblocked: forge-150.

Success Criteria

• Acceptance criteria are met and verified before closing.
• Newly unblocked issues are checked with forge ready.
